1 Reasonability of test automation Some thoughts on test automation. Jurijs Grigorjevs Manager of Testing Unit Tieto, Cards

2 Table of contents Reasons 3 Estimations 5 Decision 10 Practices 15 Evaluation and evolution 24 Conclusion 28 2

3 Reasons Situations, when we may need test automation.

4 Main reasons Regression testing automatically repeat same tests. Faster significantly improving time-to-market of the program. Better than humans small details can be verified. Pushed down by management. Everybody has test automation and we also need it. 4

5 Estimations Strategy for test automation to get estimations of planned costs.

6 Execution Scope Tools Users Factors End users for test scripts. What are the use cases for them? Framework availability. Test tools. Stubs. Repeatable functionality in application. Scope of tests. Parallel versions Regularity of executions. Environment for executions 6

7 Strategy Remember factors. Define scope Prioritize test cases and functionalities. Remember 20/80 principle! 80% of test cases can be automated within 20% of time. Define entry and exit criteria for test automation. Define prerequisites. Describe approach architecture for test scripts. Framework. Reusability. Parameterisation. Data-driven approach. 7

8 Prerequisites Required tools are available. Necessary HW is available. There are skilled specialists available for script development. Support from lead developers is required. Testable application. 8

9 Estimations + Strategy preparation + Script development + Documenting + Testing of scripts + Trainings (received and provided) + Test cases definition + Execution and validation + Test scripts and test data maintenance + Environment maintenance + Administration (project management, meetings, review, etc.) + Risks Total required m/d. 9 Remember factors.

10 Decision What aspects should be analysed before taking a decision?

11 External defects Is Zero defects policy in place? How crucial (reputation, financial and other loses) are the defects from production? Is the number and categorization of defects limited within some agreements between customer and developers? 11

12 Cost of defect Cost of internal defect vs Cost of external defect Registration Fixing Retesting Communication with customer Analysis of log files Retesting to prove the defect Registration Cost of external defects is about x10 more then internal. Fixing Retesting Delivery 12

13 Return Of Investments ROI = benefit investment = gain costs investment Gain is the price of manual test case execution. Gain = manual execution + env. maintenance Costs is the total price for test automation (incl. investment). Costs = investment + test development + test execution + maintenance Investment is the price to be ready for test development. Investment = licenses + HW costs (tools) + initial deployment + configuration + trainings 13

14 Return Of Investments (examples) ROI iterations

15 Practices Several practical approaches that could be recommended for others.

16 Build-deploy-test Clean-up environment Compile last version Why Clean-up is the first one not the last one?? Install last version Run Run TC TC 1 Run TC 2 Run TCs 1 16

17 Keyword-driven testing 17

18 Data-driven testing 18

19 Simplification Simple reduces errors. Simple is more effective. Simple is easy to understand, support and reuse. Examples of small independent test scripts with purpose: To compile. To install. To run Shell command. To extract data. To change business date. 19

20 Dedicated persons Different dedicated roles: - test script developers; - functional testers for test data definition; - environment manager; One can do his best within dedicated role. Goalkeeper can not be good forwarder!! 20

21 Automated test data preparation Usually requires huge resources. Sometimes can be automated. Data could be taken from: Production log files. Production database tables. Certification logs. Can be generated using special scripts. This is a bit risky! 21

22 Self documented test data 22

23 Bad examples rakes x Test data definition in test scripts. x Complicated test data definition. x Parameters definition in test scripts. x De-support of used tools. x Multiplatform support. x Each good tester can be test automation specialist. x Regular execution on several platforms requires almost xn more maintenance. x Bad communication significantly decreases efficiency. 23

24 Evaluation and evolution Scope, spend time and defect analysis.

25 3 dimensions Scope Coverage according to manual test cases Coverage according to requirements Branch, statement and other code coverage Spend time Real vs Original estimations Maintenance hours Defects Manual vs Automated Internal vs External Analysis of External defects 25

26 Automated testing similar to sappers (c) Randall Rice, Rice Consulting Services, Inc, USA 26

27 Evolution of complex test automation Standard practices and library of reusable test scripts 27

28 Conclusion Methods, tools, stuff, SUT.

29 Conclusion With test execution on multiple configurations and versions is quite easy to prove necessity of test automation (positive ROI). There are good tools, frameworks, but to get reasonable test automation we still need: Applied approaches. Additional tools and stubs. Specialists. Application itself (testability). 29
